Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are found free in the cytoplasm or on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. They may exist singly or form chains (polyribosomes). Ribosomes serve as the site of protein synthesis. This is accomplished with transfer RNA (tRNA) for amino acid transport to the ribosome, and specific mRNA molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Ribosomes are found in Mitochondria and bacterial cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytoplasmic ribosomes of eukaryotes are 80S type. They occur freely or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Detailed explanation-4: -Because protein synthesis is an essential function of all cells, ribosomes are found in practically every cell type of multicellular organisms, as well as in prokaryotes such as bacteria. However, eukaryotic cells that specialize in producing proteins have particularly large numbers of ribosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Their main function is to convert genetic code into an amino acid sequence and to build protein polymers from amino acid monomers.
